The curations of #Brasiliana promote dialogue between collections from different #Brazilian museums. Discover the theme #BrazilianCuisine:
"...everyday objects narrate part of the history of how we cook and eat. They include dishes, terrines, cutlery, pots, stoves, and many other utensils and tools—manual, mechanical, and even electrified—objects that provide a snapshot of culinary habits and practices in Brazilian homes."

#DigitalMemory
"The scale of art, music, and literature being lost each day as the #WWW shifts and degenerates represents the biggest loss of human cultural production since WWII. My generation was continuously warned by teachers, parents, and authority figures that we should be careful online because the internet is written in ink, and yet it turned out to be the exact opposite. As writer and researcher Kevin T. Baker remarked, 'On the internet, Alexandria burns daily.'"

"Making #archiving obligatory would also encourage universities that don’t yet operate their own repositories to work towards instituting them. “#Universities are one of the most enduring elements of our society,” says Hussein Suleman, a #digitallibraries scholar at the University of Cape Town in S.Africa. “If we adopted this widely, this would be a safeguarding mechanism for the knowledge of our current generation so the future generations can access it.”"

"Like most kids of my generation, I grew up assuming that things like books, video games, music and movies, newspapers and magazines, once published, wouldn’t just disappear.
In reality, cultural artifacts are findable only so long as someone takes on the active responsibility to preserve, catalog and share them. Once gone, they’re gone forever. Historical oblivion is the default, not the exception."

"Now, under ownership of #Fortnite and Unreal Engine developer #EpicGames, #Sketchfab users are being pushed into a new, consolidated 3D model marketplace called Fab, and they worry that the thousands of 3D models they’ve shared over the years are at risk. I talked to a number of these users for this story and why they are worried, despite Epic Games’ promises."

The #digitalmuseum we need:
“It’s a research library. It’s there to record and make available an accurate version of the past,” @brewsterkahle says. “Otherwise, we’ll end up with a George Orwell world where the past can be manipulated and erased.”

"With Google’s cached results gone, embedded #InternetArchive links in search may be the next best thing.
You can get to the results by clicking the three dots next to a specific link in the results, then click “More about this page” to get to a link to the Wayback Machine page, the post says. Although the change is apparently rolling out today, it often takes some time before Google’s changes show up for everyone."

What does a digital memory lab actually do?

"The act of #takingnotes in public [#blogging] is a powerful #discipline: rather than jotting cryptic notes to myself in a commonplace book, I publish those notes for strangers. This imposes a #rigor on the #notetaking that makes those notes far more useful to me in #yearstocome."

“In a dream world, every national library would have enough funds to bring on an amazing team of people. Governments often don't have that” says professor Ian Milligan, who is writing a book on the #InternetArchive’s origins.
The Internet Archive has not previously acted as custodian of a country’s whole collection, although it has worked with a number of national and regional #libraries around the world."

That's a good fediverse conversation about #digitalmemory.
"The findings demonstrate that repository shutdown does happen and can result in permanent data loss… Data #reuse & #citation are increasingly promoted by journals, funders and other stakeholders. If these practices become more common, data loss might pose a threat to the permanence of the scholarly record."

Brazilian #museums join the #Fediverse: "From a [#digitalmemory] #publicpolicy standpoint, creating an online social environment for disseminating information that is independent of centralized platforms is crucial for the sustainable functioning of information and knowledge networks of public interest."

"The death of #Google's cached sites will mean the #InternetArchive has a larger burden of archiving and tracking changes on the world's webpages."

Another good example of why we should see more public policy for #digitalmemory.
